Readings 8–10pm, club night 10pm–3am
lost, Shaftesbury Avenue, WC2H 8AH

Soho Reading Series are hosting a launch for Yoel Noorali’s The Kingdom at lost, a temporary club and cinema venue occupying the historic Savile Theatre in Soho. With readings from:

Yoel Noorali
Ella Frears
Ben Pester
Joe Dunthorne
Harry Tanner
Christian Lorentzen

In a surreal and hilarious mix of fiction and autobiography, The Kingdom follows a host of misfits and losers struggling to devote themselves to the religion of the 21st century: work. Set predominantly within the admin office of an NHS liver wing, the collection chronicles the strange behaviours of men cornered by a bureaucracy that lets indignity run rampant.

Tickets are £15, which includes a copy of the book and entry to the readings and to the club night afterwards. To book, visit the ticket link, enter the code “blow-up” and select the £15 access ticket. You’ll be able to collect your copy of the book at the door.
